Grace Holmes, 5, from Bothell, peeks between two tarps to see the crowd gathering Wednesday afternoon for the Wenatchee Youth Circus, playing in Edmonds, which is performing here for the 15th year. It will be only the second performance for Grace as a circus clown, so she is very excited. Grace's parents are Russ and Cherry Holmes of Bothell.
